Cyber Crimes Program Manager

The Cyber Crimes Program Manager serves as a strategic procurement lead within the Internal Revenue Service’s IT Strategy and Modernization unit, overseeing acquisitions that advance the agency’s digital transformation and cybersecurity posture. Responsible for sourcing mission-critical software and secure data infrastructure solutions, they drive the procurement of enterprise-grade systems designed to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats targeting tax administration systems. Their portfolio centers on secure software development, threat intelligence platforms, and interoperable data architecture, ensuring alignment with federal cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-53 and FISMA requirements. They collaborate closely with technical teams to translate operational needs into solicitation requirements and manage end-to-end contract lifecycle activities for high-priority IT modernization initiatives. Contractor relationships are primarily with specialized firms delivering cybersecurity software, secure cloud platforms, and custom application development services. While no single vendor dominates the portfolio, the Program Manager consistently engages with vendors possessing CMMC Level 3 certification, FedRAMP authorization, and experience in IRS-specific compliance environments. Partnerships emphasize technical agility, proven track records in federal cybersecurity, and the ability to support continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines within classified and unclassified networks. The Program Manager has no set-aside preferences, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a priority on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications, though small businesses are not excluded and may compete on equal footing when they meet stringent security and performance criteria. The primary NAICS code 511210—Software Publishers—dominates their acquisition profile, indicating a sharp focus on procuring proprietary and custom-developed cybersecurity software, threat detection analytics, data encryption tools, and secure application platforms. Their technical domain expertise lies in securing taxpayer data ecosystems, integrating AI-driven anomaly detection, and deploying zero-trust architecture frameworks across IRS digital infrastructure.
